Drawing makes me feel high, especially when I listen to @awakeningod podcast. Feels good to zone out and listen to how to hack the matrix.

Rainy refreshing rejuvenating reflecting New Year’s Day walk around the arboretum. Got drenched but it was worth it.

What’s in store for 2021? Who knows? But 2020 -

What’s in store for 2021? Who knows? But 2020 - in all its shittery - had some compelling moments. Here are a few of mine:

1. Started a podcast - and while the goal was to do 12 episodes I actually ended up doing 24. The focus was on sharing stories of strength courage and getting through and all of my guests were honestly stellar.
🪄
2. Met a new lover online, we begin a hot n erotic correspondence and yes met up in person thru the pandemic and wild fires and while I don’t recommend that, it worked out for me.
✨
3. Started intermittent fasting, not to lose weight because I like my body just fine but to change my relationship with food. Now I typically fast 16-20 hours a day. I have a lot more energy.
🌈
4. I realized after 10 years of freelancing and being self employed that I was tired. And not only that, felt out of alignment with the work I had been doing. Call it midlife crisis, Uranus opposition, whatever you want, but sometimes you just gotta realize it’s OK to change your mind and just do something different. Sometimes you just know you’re meant to be doing something else. What that is for me is unknown at the moment but I am currently doing a deep dive to figure it out.
✍️
5. I swam in the Pacific Ocean, went on some beautiful hikes, spent some quality socially distanced times with people I love & wrote a lot.
🍁
6. Did a ton of personal work. I mean, the pandemic hit and while I’m an introvert border-line hermit, even this was too much. Depression and anxiety come in waves for me and this year wow, I was on a ride. Because of this and repeated messages that would just come to me I did something I thought I never would do...
🍃
7. Quit cannabis! I’ve been puffing down since the age of 18 and I was like, it might be time liz. I can’t tell you how many times I spent in my backyard puffing on a joint, pontificating life while feeling at the same time I just had to quit. To see what it feels like. So, since Oct., no herb for me! (BTW cannabis is plant medicine and helps a ton of people. This is not about that).
🔥
I’m ready for what’s next on this journey. My question for this next year: What do I want to experience? I’m starting there 💫

Grateful for long walks in the cool air with good

Grateful for long walks in the cool air with good friends these days. Saying so long goodbye to 2020 and looking ahead to 2021 with an open heart, a bit of hesitation and a lot of hope.

How much came up for you this year? What changed?

How much came up for you this year? What changed?

I know for me, 2020 is the great clearing out. Clearing of old dreams I needed to let go of, clearing of expectations hanging around past their expiration date, clearing of generational trauma circulating in my cellular memory, clearing of goals that just didn’t make sense anymore. Now I’m left with space. Lots and lots of space. Despite the challenges and disappointments of this year, I’m fortunate. I’ve been actively letting go of ideas of how I think things should be and now follow what my body and spirit know to be true: that while the answers to what’s next on this human journey may not be in physical form yet, they are coming. They are present and making its way to me. In the meantime, during these short days and long nights, I find myself discovering the beauty in both the darkness and the light - both are full of insight and information - that somehow I wasn’t able to see before.
How are things going for you? If we haven’t talked for a while, DM me, I’d love to hear what you’re up to!

This is the look I give when I hear people are still voting for Trump. Anyhoo, it’s National Coming Out Day today and I’ve been mostly offline cleaning my house but popping in to say I’m a white queer Jewish femme, cannabis enthusiast, writer who appreciates butches, poly romance and people who get that as queers we still are fighting for our rights every day. So please VOTE!
